Our guide was excellent in her presentations. She was scholarly, informative and had a great sense of humor.

This was an excellent tour and was well worth the money! Our guide, Nathaniel Hutchinson, truly did an outstanding job. Our tour was on Friday, August 16, 2019. Nathaniel was incredibly funny, but quick on his toes and really knows his history. The 1 1/2 hours went by quickly and the time at each stop was perfectly timed. I am baffled at those that wrote negative reviews because we knew exactly what to expect and were not disappointed. Well worth the price and learned a lot and would even do it again and probably learn something new, as the tour is not boring or totally scripted. Was just overall fun.

We had a wonderful tour with Lydia Mullilken, colonial woman from Lexington, who played a key role in the beginning of the Revolutionary War. She easily engaged the whole group with her interesting stories and jokes about the heroes of the Revolution. We learned a lot and laughed a lot too. This walking tour is a great overview of the early history of Boston with some beautiful views of the historical buildings in the city. If you don’t know much about the history you’ll get the basics and even if you do, you’ll enjoy the anecdotes. People of all ages on our tour loved it!
